Catalogue Note:
Michael Lin's paintings are usually created in bright and fresh colors, with shapes and obvious patterns repetitively appearing on the surface of an object or space. In his early paintings, he used traditional patterns from the typical cloth material of Taiwan from the 1940s and 50s, which he considered "appropriate" to be used as his vocabulary for his individual creation. These early paintings were painted on canvas, or, to break the limitation of traditional media or space, on the floors of public spaces, where public spaces became artistically privatized. During his process, he incorporated art with ordinary life scenes, and he regarded visual art as the expression of culture subjectivity. As he says in his own words, "My art starts from my life!" This painting was created in 2008. The picture is not a complete pattern, but looks like a small piece of mosaic. The posture of the pattern suggests to viewers that there is somewhere else beyond.
